Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides an apparatus for housing both aquatic and terrestrial animals in a single bifurcated frame. The frame includes a centrally disposed longitudinal axis and a divider that separates the compartments. The frame also includes transparent glass panels and a pivoting door for accessing the terrestrial animals. The apparatus also includes a cover with independently movable doors and a light-emitting source. The technical effects of the invention include providing a convenient and efficient way to house a variety of animals in a safe and secure environment."

Problems solved by technology

Yet, such a divider provides no means for housing terrestrial animals in the same container as the aquatic animals.

Abstract

A bifurcated habitat includes a bifurcated frame having a divider traversing the frame and a plurality of compartments defined on opposed sides of the divider. One compartment is isolated from the remaining compartments for maintaining a predetermined volume of water therein. Another one of the compartments includes a cage and a lower section in fluid communication therewith. The cage further includes a pivoting door situated adjacent to one end portion thereof. The habitat further includes a cover positioned onto a top portion of the frame and includes a plurality of pivotally connected doors. Each of the cover doors is independently movable between open and closed positions and includes a light-emitting source connected to one of the cover doors.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] Not Applicable. STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT [0002] Not Applicable. REFERENCE TO A MICROFICHE APPENDIX [0003] Not Applicable. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0004] 1. Technical Field [0005] This invention relates to a habitat for animals and, more particularly, to a bifurcated habitat for animals for contemporaneously housing a plurality of aquatic and terrestrial animals. [0006] 2. Prior Art [0007] Aquariums have been known for centuries. They allow marine plants and animals to be kept and viewed in a controlled environment. Likewise, terrariums have long allowed convenient viewing of terrestrial plants and animals of exotic origin. Aquariums and terrariums can be both educational and entertaining. Most terrestrial plants and animals cannot live under water. For that reason it is visually stimulating and interesting to see terrestrial plants and animals displayed next to aquatic life forms. This usually ...
